8 Things Highly Intuitive People Do Differently

If you were to be woken up from your sleep and asked to define intuition, it might be a Herculean task to weave words together. We agree with Steve Jobs when he said intuition is something that’s more powerful than intellect. All of us experience that gut feeling, and most of us tend to ignore it, citing logic. A certain unconscious reasoning that we always battle with before taking any step is what makes intuition what it is. While sometimes we gain a lot out of it, other times it may just end up in another usual deed. But to find out whether it’s a hit or a miss, it is important to know how those who are in touch with their intuition work.

Observe Everything

If you want to tap into your intuition, the simplest way to do it is to notice everything around you. Being observant always gives you an upper hand over others. Maintain a journal, or just use your smartphone to keep a tab of anything and everything interesting happening around you. Joining the dots will be child’s play hence.

Listen To That Inner Voice

We often follow our mind over heart. That’s a good thing, but disregarding your emotions or your gut feeling can be harmful in the long run. To make the best decisions, it is important to have a balance of intuition, where you can pay equal heed to both instinct as well reasoning.

Take Time For Solitude

A little bit of ‘Me time’ every day is actually not so bad. Spend time alone to know yourself better and to get in touch with your intuition. Going away from the hustle bustle of crowd, solitude can provide the perfect platform for some creative thinking and help you reconnect with yourself.

Practice Mindfulness

Meditation is an excellent way to clear your head and listen to your gut feeling. It helps you clear the mental clutter and you can weigh your options in a much better manner with a clear head. Mindfulness is also about paying more attention to your own self by learning from your experiences. This in turn helps you become more compassionate, creative and also increases your intuition.

Create

Creative people are the ones who have to be in touch with their intuition. Creating something requires deep understanding of your inner self and listening to your inner voice. The more you create, the more you can boost your intuitive powers.

Pay Attention To Your Dreams

Don’t discard your dreams. Every dream is valid, no matter where it’s coming from. Dreams are also a way of getting in touch with your inner self because that’s how you get to know what’s going on in your mind. Dreams are very closely associated to intuition, as both originate from the unconscious.

In today’s day and age, it is hard not to lose your cool. But don’t let negative emotions overshadow your intuition. When we are upset, that’s the time when we are most likely to not be in touch with our intuition. Depression, stress and hatred/jealousy can make us not pay attention to our inner voice.

Enjoy Down Time

Looking at the fast pace of life, none of us really get time enough to take a break whenever we want. We are constantly busy—managing office, household chores, and social life. Burnout is inevitable in this case. Therefore, it’s important to take time out to not stay busy and enjoy some down time. That will let us acknowledge our intuitive inner voice too.
